The float was great! We had a 10 month old with us and it went really smooth. They accommodated us so well and he even floated! It was all so beautiful and impressive.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience

Saad_S, Jan 2022

An excellent tour led by a knowledgeable, friendly guide. The boat ride in the Lagoons within Sian Ka’An biosphere reserve and the experience of floating within an ancient Mayan canal were especially wonderful and memorable. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Jan 2022
